erratic grub

Grub usually boots my rh9 from hd0 ok but sometimes tries to boot from
hd1. This appears to be random in nature. It then does successfully
boot from hd0 and generates a bunch of error messages. Since it always
eventually boots, its more of a nuisance than a problem. Here is my
grub file:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-6)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-6 ro root=LABEL=/1
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-6.img
#title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-6)
# root (hd1,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-6 ro root=/dev/hdb2
# initrd /initrd-2.4.20-6.img
I do have an hd1 drive but I just use it when I want to play around
without worrying about blowing it up. It's just a copy of hd0. I notice
that I don't have the word "boot" anywhere. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks
